Focus On Christ

Where’s your focus? On yourself or Christ?

Anne Graham Lotz says, “If the needle of our compass is set to point to ourselves or to our circumstances, we will get lost.”

She’s right. Many times, our financial problems are created by our self-reliance.  I have a friend who got caught up in buying lottery tickets to try and get ahead. The more he bought, the further behind he became. 

Christ never promised that he would supply all of our needs according to the riches of the lottery! Most of our debt is a result of not waiting on Him to provide.

So do as the Bible says and “…run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus…”  (Hebrews 12:1-2)
